Extra Meeting Tonight!:)

Hello Sisters! Just a reminder of our Extra Meeting tonight.  We are meeting at the stake center at 6:30pm and making lap blankets and eating yummy teats. Please bring any material, scissors, sewing machines, or thread you are willing to let us use.  If you can't bring anything, please just come and be with us:)  I'm excited to get to work and serve tonight. Hope to see you all there!

PS: There WILL be babysitting available for those who need it!

Just some quotes from our Sunday RS meeting...

Richard G Scott said, "Are there so many fascinating, exciting things to do or so many challenges pressing down upon you that it is hard to keep focused on that which is essential? When things of the world crowd in, all too often the wrong things take highest priority. Then it is easy to forget the fundamental purpose of life. Satan has a powerful tool to use against good people. It is distraction. He would have good people fill life with “good things” so there is no room for the essential ones. Have you unconsciously been caught in that trap?"

  "First, think about your life and set your priorities... Second, set short-term goals that you can reach... Third, through wise budgeting control your real needs and measure them carefully against your many wants in life... Fourth, stay close to your spouse, children, relatives, and friends... Fifth, study the scriptures... Sixth, schedule time for sufficient rest, exercise, and relaxation... Seventh, [as] families, teach one another the gospel, preferably in a weekly family home evening... Finally, pray often as individuals and as families."

M Russell Ballard “Keeping Life's Demands in Balance,” Ensign, May 1987, 13

"How well I know that we can surround ourselves with the material things to the extent that we have no time for the spiritual. Look around and you will see all the gadgets and toys and the nice and the fun things that cause us to squander and pay and to wander and play. 

We give our lives to that which we give our time. As I have said, while here in mortality we are subject to time. We also have agency and may do what we will with our time. Let me repeat: We give our lives to that which we give our time." (Elder William R. Bradford)

Some suggestions/comments in class: 

*Every morning, write down the things you need to get done for the day, with the most important at the top. Go through your day doing the most important things and go down from there. Even if you don't get everything done on your list... you did the things that mattered most.

*Spend time with your children.  The dishes and household chores can wait, they are only with us a short time in this life.  We need to cherish that time.

*Remember that Heavenly Father might have a different plan for you, so don't get too discouraged if your day doesn't go exactly as planned.
